Convert AM/PM to 24 hours clock in Laravel input field

Question

Problem: I'm using laravel forms in combination with Carbon to try and pass a date value to my database. I'm trying to switch the input field format to 24 hours instead of AM/PM, but I keep getting the standard AM/PM format. I tried ->format() but didn't find the correct solution.

Question: How can I replace the AM / PM Format of the input field to the 24 hours clock?

My code:

{{Form::date('date', \Carbon\Carbon::now(),['class' => 'form-control'])}}
{{Form::time('time', \Carbon\Carbon::now()->timezone('Europe/Brussels'),['class' => 'form-control'])}}

// Input field values:

// Date: 08/16/2018 , Time: 07:47 PM -> 19:47:00

Input result when changing the format:

{{Form::time('time', \Carbon\Carbon::now()->timezone('Europe/Brussels')->format('H:i:s'),['class' => 'form-control'])}}

// Input value of time:
// Time: 08:00:29 PM 

Answer 1

You'll need to change your time field to the following

{{Form::time('time', \Carbon\Carbon::now()->timezone('Europe/Brussels')->format('H:i:s'),['class' => 'form-control'])}}

To explain the formatting;
H - 24 Hour with trailing zeros
i - Minutes with trailing zeros
s - Seconds with trailing zeros

You can see all the date/time variables at PHP Date
